Assessment[edit]

I feel that the article is borderline between start-class and B-class. It skirts along meeting each of the criteria of a Start:

a particularly useful picture or graphic

The icon is of course necessary given that it is the defining symbol of the organisation and the historical image is interesting, but I do not particularly feel that either truly adds to the article. I recommend some images of current equipment as well as a route map.

multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic

Appears to be good use of wikilinks, but all 3 external links are for the same general website. I recommend finding some other external links (though I admit that may be difficult given the subject) and perhaps some See Also links, if any can be found which would be applicable; or if certain wikilinks stand out as being particularly vital. Additionally, the article would benefit from some additional references (particularly when it comes to History sections) -- which should be modified to a more standard format.

a subheading that fully treats an element of the topic

I suppose the routes cannot be expanded much further, barring the addition of any more routes.

multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article

The history is relatively short. Transport companies are rife with history -- you just need to find it :) I recommend checking with the local tourist office, library, or perhaps even with EMTA itself. These organisations often have at least one history buff whom may be able to provide a slew of hardcopy references or at least send you to a place that has them.

Hope that helps. Sláinte! --Bossi (talk ;; contribs) 02:40, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Buses[edit]

EMTA recently acquired a slew of new buses (they put them on the roads as of March 20, 2009). I've seen them on the following routes: 25/30, 26/M4, 29. These look like newer versions of the Gilligs that they currently have. As far as I know they are numbered in the 0900's and are CNG buses. They feature a new paint scheme, similar to the previous paint scheme. The main picture of the article should be updated as well as the facts about how many CNG buses EMTA has, I don't really have the time or resources to do this plus I'm not very familiar with the editing side of Wikipedia, sorry.
